Samsung has acknowledged a bug in its One Hand Operation + app that breaks gesture input after taking screenshots. A fix is already in the works and will arrive via an upcoming app update.

The issue surfaced on Samsung’s Korean community forums (via MojoTrick), where users reported that custom gestures stop responding immediately after a screen capture.

For context, One Hand Operation + is part of Samsung’s Good Lock suite. The app expands One UI navigation with edge-based gesture controls, allowing users to assign shortcuts for back, recent apps, quick tools, and more.

The problem is specific but disruptive. After taking a screenshot, gesture inputs configured through One Hand Operation + freeze. Swipes from the screen edges fail to trigger any assigned actions.

The rest of the system remains functional, but gesture-based navigation effectively stops working until the UI resets or the app recovers. For users who rely on these gestures daily, it breaks core usability.

A Samsung Community moderator has confirmed the root cause.

According to the official response, the issue is tied to how the app handles “gesture handles” during screen capture. When a color is assigned to these handles, the system hides them to prevent them from appearing in screenshots.

That behavior is currently flawed, causing the handles to disappear in a way that also disables gesture detection. There is no exact release date yet, but the fix is expected in the next software rollout for One Hand Operation +.

The moderator added that Samsung is reviewing a change to make these handles transparent instead of hidden, which should resolve the UX bug without interfering with screenshots.
